Cost to Redeem an AK-47 | Aphrodite In the Armory

The absolute basic cost of an AK-47 Aphrodite is 125 Armory credits. The cost of an armory pass is $15.99 (USD), and one armory pass provides its redeemer with a total of 40 armory credits once entirely completed. The Aphrodite’s unfortunate price, not divisible by 40, makes acquiring it more pricy, as a user with no initial armory credits will have to purchase a total of 4 armory passes providing 160 armory credits, in order to redeem 1 AK-47 Aphrodite. This means the flat price of an AK-47 Aphrodite is $64 (USD), with some armory credits left to spare.

So is the AK-47 Aphrodite Worth It?

The short answer is yes, and no. To decide whether or not redeeming an Aphrodite is worth it, you must first determine the reason you want an Aphrodite.

If you are redeeming one for the pure intention of financial profit, the answer is a statistical no at this moment, as, aside from Factory New condition, you are almost guaranteed to lose money. In this case, if you are looking to profit from this Limited Edition Skin, you are best off merely purchasing one in the aftermarket for a respectable price and holding it for the potential rise that may occur upon its removal from the armory.

If you are looking for a specific pattern or a unique AK-47 Aphrodite, then your best course of action will most definitely be to redeem one via completing armory passes. The previously listed prices do not account for exceptions, such as the plethora of rare patterns and gems for the AK-47 Aphrodite. These rare patterns can, even in the worst conditions, sell for over double the expected market price for those conditions.

To close, if you’re simply looking for that keepsake play skin you can hold dear knowing you made it yourself, then most definitely go through the more traditional armory pass method, but if you’re looking to turn a quick profit, or even trying to own an Aphrodite for a short time, you are better off purchasing one via a third-party CS2 marketplace.
